Any FT-3 fuel cells *besides* Fuel Safe?
I am having a hard time finding any competition for Fuel Safe for the FT-3 fuel cells for road racing.
What fuel cells are people using here?
I'm also wondering what sort of bulkhead setups people on hatchbacks (CRXes, etc.) came up with.

Re: Any FT-3 fuel cells *besides* Fuel Safe? (rotten)
Looks like ATL has a pretty good line. Pretty hard to find information on the web--hardly anyone online sells the stuff, and if they do they don't sell the entire line of products.
Are there anyone else besides ATL and Fuel Safe that anyone knows about?
And am I mistaken about having to have an additional bulkhead in addition to the cell (even if it is a plastic bladder encased in metal)? Some rules it seems that the plastic bladder would encased in a metal case would satisfy, other rules I'm reading seems that you'd still need to create a bulkhead on a CRX.
Sucks trying to have your car legal under multiple sanctioning bodies.

ATL and Fuel Safe pretty much have the market cornered. And from what I have seen, there needs to be a bulkhead between the driver and the fuel cell, even if it is already encased in metal. It's not much of an issue in sedan cars (stick it in the trunk), but obviously more of a problem in CRX, or hatchbacks.
Personally, when I get a fuel cell, I am getting it professionaly installed.

Yeah what is kinda stupid about that is that I'm better of getting the ATL fuel cells that ARE FT-3 compliant but don' t have the metal case.
It seems that if I take their base do it yourself line that is FT-3 compliant (but doesn't have the metal shell), and then build my own metal case around it and the filler neck, etc. then I'm compliant. But if I take one of their other fuel cells that already have a metal case I'd *still* have to build a bulkhead around it to be compliant.
